depression
contagious?
am i a danger
to those i love?
am i a carrier
exposing those closest to me
to the demons beneath my skin?
like the female samurai poison tasters
who can never know the touch of another
because of the built-up of poisons
running through their veins
should i live the solitary life
of a ronin without a clan
or that of a reclusive monk
high on some mountain top?
perhaps, like all of the above
i should strive to ensure
that my contributions outnumber
my detriments...
